Danny Boy - Finbar Wright

Grand Opera House Belfast

[@michaelg.golden7327]

Usually I think of this song about a boy going to war and the dad awaits his return. Wonderful singer's rendition of a powerful and sad song. Let there be peace so no son goes to war anywhere anytime.

[@dansm1422]

This was my mother's favorite song, and she named me after it. It was played at her funeral. I cry whenever I hear it, no matter who is singing it. This is a particularly nice version.

[@quickfoxxes]

@MaiS Sm I just found this video. I have the same story you do. All through early years I was called Danny Boy. It is a lovely, lovely song with an attachment to the deepest memories. Bless you and those you love. Dan

Greetings from Manila, Philippines. I lost my younger brother in a motorcycle accident. His name was Adan, but I call him Danny. He was sweet, a joker and a drinking buddy. Sad, the person who drove the car and bumped him to death escaped from justice. Soon, when our Lord Jesus Christ returns, will see Adan, Danny again. Miss you my brother.

[@DC-uo5hy]

❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🌴🌴🌴Blessings to you and your family. Justice belongs to God.

Not the drivers fault . It’s how the cookie crumbled. My friend lost his life in a car accident and his friend also. The Mother of her Son is blaming his Mother. Nobody is to blame as we have freedom to make choices. I lost too and i had to remind myself my husband made his choice to have the operation. Please forgive and move on.

Have never heard this beautiful man sing before.. and totally astonshied I was.. his voice tore my heart right out of my body, so powerful and beautiful it was... never have I heard such emotion ., his face expressed every ounce of the emotion intended and demanded by this beloved song.. Many great tenors sing this.. and Finbar Wright sang it exactly as I believe that dear Irishman once sang it to his beloved son.. Indeed Finbar Wright has one of the most beautiful voices ever I have heard.. and his amazing rendition of this heartbreaking song is truly a treasure I shall cherish forever.. This serene video was made 10 years ago.. and was found by me just today on a KZbin search for Danny Boy.. named my first born son Danny as it was my fathers favorite song which often he sang to me in his own lovely Irish tenor.. yes he was Irish as the day is long and rightly so proud of his heritage! So grateful to KZbin for finding this for me.. it shall remain in my playlist forever! Thank you! Jen999💙

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

[@MohamedAli-ft5qd]

Danny Boy is indeed a song sung by a woman bidding farewell to her loving son off to war, or that is the implication. Times have changed, however, and with the increasing numbers of women serving in the military, I thought lyrics to the tune should be written to honor those women and so, after I watched my US Marine daughter walk up the ramp to the airplane that took her to Iraq, I drove back to my motel and through my tears, wrote lyrics to what I call "O Daughter Dear," which I hope to get to some singer(s). I think you'll like it.
